Comment on Space Honey

  Part of it is I don’t know how skin particles will act inside a space station. Are there static electricity forces that would make it stick to surfaces, or does it remain suspended in air until the filtration gets to it?

    Static electricity would definitely be a factor, but there’s probably pretty good air circulation and filtering. That combined with regular wipe downs of surfaces probably keeps dust under control.

    I know the moon missions in the past had a hell of a time dealing with lunar dust. It’s super fine and static was sticking it to everything.
